Hi Jef, Actually, it helped a LOT, and (knock on wood) kernel_task is behaving today. I am going with the built-in monitor only, for now. I believe there is still something a bit wonky about how Finale 2012b handles files with 30+ staves, but at least now the problem isn't being compounded by

Hi Ryan, I use linked parts but that's non-negotiable. This Mac should have no trouble handling that, though. There is definitely something else going on, something Finale is doing that's causing the kernel_task process to spin out of control, which drags down everything with it. Cheers, -

Actually -- this sounds weird but I'm beginning to suspect it's not actually Finale-related. It may be a coincidence that the kernel_task spike tends to coincide with my launching Finale. Instead, it seems like it might have something to do with my external monitor? That seems weirdly

Well, it seems like kernel_task activity is often heat-related, and plugging in the external monitor does force the MacBook Pro to use the discreet (non-integrated) graphics card, which runs a lot hotter than the integrated card that would be in use with the external screen disconnected. That

I don't think you specified a OS version, but in 10.8 there seem to be a lot of programs that do not manage memory well. For example, Image Capture on my system, if I scan 300dpi TIFFs, it starts gobbling up ram like there is no tomorrow. Safari 6 seems to also gobble up a lot of memory,
